Loose Screw Extracted With Exacto Blade!
The threaded piece of wire that worked it's way out of Philip's humorous bone has been slowly working it's way up through his bicep muscle (causing quite a lot of discomfort on its way). By yesterday afternoon you could actually see the metal pointing up just under his skin. Luckily, he had a doctor's appointment this morning and the doctor managed to extract the wire with an exacto blade and needle-n0sed pliers*. I'm not wishing I was Philip today. The great news is that he was scheduled to have surgery next week in Santa Rosa to remove this renegade metal, now, two stitches later, he will not have to go back to Memorial Hospital. So this is a happy day!
*Alright, alright, Philip insists that I note that the doctor did not, in fact, really use an exacto blade and needle nosed pliers, he used a scalpel and the thingy-ma-bob-that's the surgeon's equivalent to needle-nosed pliers. Would anyone have actually believed my version anyway?

In Other News: A Change To The Comments Section
I don't know if any of my friends or family have attempted to leave comments to any of my previous posts and found they couldn't (I'd like to think that at least one of you has tried) the reason is because I didn't have my comments template set to accept comments from anyone besides other bloggers from Blogspot. I have now changed the settings so that anyone, anywhere, can leave comments. For those who are not familiar with word verification: please note that before posting a comment you must enter the letters you see in the word verification, this makes it difficult for junk mail to be posted here. So please, let me know you've stopped by, it will feel like old times when you used to be able to drop by my house for a casual chat.
